Description
Attention will be paid to operations in Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Afghanistan and Iraq as case studies and to European attempts at autonomous crisis management. At the conceptual level the course will focus on the relationship between communitarian integration and intergovernmental cooperation and the modalities of closer cooperation and constructive abstention. In addition, the different solidarity clauses will be discussed including those in the constitution, as well as the European Defence Agency, which will combine requirements, research and technology, procurement and evaluation, and possible scenarios for European action. Another aspect will be the international parliamentary assemblies.
course objectives
The course aims at defining the scope and limitations of CFSP and ESDP in the double context of continuing European integration and changing transatlantic relations. It will trace the historical developments from the Western European Union and European Political Cooperation to the pillar structure of the European Union and to the draft European Constitution.
